Was gonna do another EOE draft stream but then my 7yo had a tantrum when it was time to turn the Switch off and my fridge sprung a leak and the shutoff valve is the same as the dishwasher so now I need a plumber and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and... no stream tonight, but now its setup

Got too excited from doing my first stream that I forgot to take a sceenshot of the draft deck. Anyways I went 1-3 with RW spaceships. Lot's of fun. I'll try streaming again later tonight once the kids are asleep.

Thanks again to WotC for the free early access EOE event.

Good lord I'm going to stream an EOE draft. I've looked at virtually no previews. This should be fun!

Thanks to Wizards of the Coast for the completely free invite to the EOE Early Access event!

How do I start streaming MTG Arena? Asking for a friend who got an invite to EOE Early Access for the first time ever and has no clue what they're doing because they have only ever published written content.

Early access Edge of Eternities drafts?

I've never done the whole "streaming" thing before but maybe I should learn?

A short discussion on Hasbro's Q2 earnings, because you should hear it from someone who's been covering this for a long time, not some random redditor who has no idea what a goodwill impairment is.

I wrote about this like a decade ago when I reviewed (almost) every Magic novel, but yes, Urza is a bad person, and the story reinforces terrible ideas. Every person involved was morally and ethically bankrupt except Hurkyl, Rebbec, and Kayla.
Seems like a good summary to me.
Firmly anti-Urza, he was a loser and his hot wife deserved far better.

Bessent on Medicaid cuts: "The able-bodied Americans are not vulnerable Americans ... people can get off Medicaid and get a job that has good healthcare benefits ... I don't think poor people are stupid. I think they have agency."

Until there's clear leadership from the Dem party, this will never happen. No one is able to unite the party and no one seems invested in trying.
Dems need long term signaling that caving to Trump will be punished by a future administration. Bukele should know he and El Salvador will be immediately sanctioned. Universities and law firms should feel zero long term advantage from capitulating instead of protecting their independence.

I’ll be honest. I have a sick feeling in my stomach about this. About ICE’s new budget. About the citizenship database. I just have a really sick feeling. The only way we survive this is together. We need to work together. In ways we never have before. Collective action is the way.
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 109 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.
NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk.

“When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.”

The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children.

Don’t ever forget.

Warren on CNBC on Mamdani: "You misunderstand what his campaign was about. His campaign was saying, 'I want to invest in NYC. I want to invest in people being able to have good jobs here, put their kids in school and build housing.' And he built a grassroots campaign. He didn't have a billionaire."
